Cognis — B2B · Confidential · April 2026

The AI agent that turns
website visitors into revenue

One script tag. Percepto speaks to every visitor in their language, qualifies their intent, and books the meeting — before a human even sees the lead.

This deck covers Cognis, our B2B conversion agent. Misha, our B2C / D2C persona, launches shortly — separate deck available on request.

40K Qualified ICP — India + ME
$800M+ Global ARR opportunity
$250K Year 1 ARR target
88% Gross margin (B2B)
Market

The ICP no one is serving well.

B2B companies with real revenue, real SDR teams, and real inbound traffic — paying $6K–15K/mo in SDR salaries to handle first contact. Percepto replaces that first conversation for $149/mo.

Cognis ICP — all five criteria must be true

$1M+

Annual revenue

Enough scale that a $149/mo tool is a rounding error. Budget approval takes minutes, not quarters.

2+ SDRs

Active SDR team

They already feel the cost — $6K–15K/mo in salaries doing first-contact qualification Percepto handles automatically.

$150+/mo

Product ACV

High enough that every qualified lead matters. Justifies multi-touch sales motion and voice-qualified discovery.

Inbound-led

Paid + organic traffic

They invest in traffic. They feel the pain of poor conversion. They already understand CAC and know what a missed lead costs.

Traffic is a signal, not the filter
Strong fit: 3K visitors/mo, $2M revenue, SDR team of 4, sells $300/mo SaaS.
High ACV, every visitor counts. SDR team is overloaded on first contact.
Weak fit: 80K visitors/mo, $500K revenue, no SDR team, sells $29/mo widget.
Commodity product, volume-driven. Not a sales conversation — a self-serve click.

Product

Two personas. One engine.

One script tag installs Percepto. It collects browser signals, scores visitor intent with an LLM, and speaks a personalised opening line — all before the visitor has read a headline.

Cognis

B2B Lead Conversion

Deployed on SaaS, enterprise, and service websites. Cognis reads company size, tech stack signals, and UTM source — then asks one sharp question that makes a VP Sales stop scrolling.

B2C Purchase Conversion

Deployed on D2C, e-commerce, and marketplace sites. Misha reads emotional state, browsing intent, and hesitation signals — then comforts, guides, and closes. Separate investor deck available on request.

Starter $0 Growth $99/mo Scale $299/mo Enterprise custom

60-second install

One script tag. No CRM setup, no developer sprint. Percepto crawls the client's site and builds a RAG knowledge base automatically on first install.

🧠

Voice-first AI

Groq Whisper STT + Chirp TTS. Percepto speaks before the visitor has to type. Opening lines are personalised per visitor — not generic chatbot prompts.

🔔

Hot lead alerts

High-intent visitors trigger a Slack alert with full transcript and a one-click human SDR claim. If unclaimed in 15 seconds, Percepto resumes automatically.

📊

CRM extraction

Every conversation yields a structured lead record — company, size, pain point, intent score. Pushed to HubSpot, Salesforce, or a webhook.

🛡️

GDPR + DPDP compliant

Consent-gated on non-client pages. Data residency options for India and UAE. Built for compliance-heavy verticals from day one.

💰

$0–3/mo infra cost

Groq free tier handles all LLM inference at MVP scale. Chirp TTS costs ~$0.0127/conversation. 88% gross margin on B2B Growth plan.

GTM & Traction

Two motions. One pipeline.

Growth is self-serve — signup, install, upgrade. Scale and Enterprise are sales-assisted — demo required, 2–3 calls to close. Year 1 target: 100 paying customers, $250K ARR.

Self-serve motion

Growth · $149/mo
